In "Enough," legendary financier and Vanguard Mutual Fund Group founder John C. Bogle takes readers on a profound journey to the heart of what truly matters in life and business. Beyond the numbers, beyond the relentless pursuit of financial gain, Bogle argues for a reevaluation of what it means to be successful, urging a return to values that prioritize the collective well-being over individual wealth. With the wisdom gleaned from a storied career at the helm of investment innovation, he challenges the notion that more is always better, suggesting instead that understanding when we have enough is key to a fulfilling life and a just society. Drawing from a rich tapestry of personal experiences, historical anecdotes, and professional insights, Bogle crafts a compelling narrative that is both a critique and a beacon of hope. He explores the destructive tendencies of greed and the endless quest for more, advocating for a paradigm shift towards empathy, integrity, and true community. "Enough" is not just a reflection on personal and professional ethics; it is a call to action, inviting readers to reconsider their roles in the broader narrative of human progress. Through Bogle's thoughtful perspective, we are reminded of the enduring treasures in life that cannot be quantified – the joy of contributing to something greater than ourselves, the peace that comes with contentment, and the richness of a life measured in relationships and experiences rather than a portfolio's size.

As I have earlier noted, the most important things in life and in business can’t be measured. The trite bromide 'If you can measure it, you can manage it' has been a hindrance in the building a great real-world organization, just as it has been a hindrance in evaluating the real-world economy. It is character, not numbers, that make the world go ‘round. How can we possibly measure the qualities of human existence that give our lives and careers meaning? How about grace, kindness, and integrity? What value do we put on passion, devotion, and trust? How much do cheerfulness, the lilt of a human voice, and a touch of pride add to our lives? Tell me, please, if you can, how to value friendship, cooperation, dedication, and spirit. Categorically, the firm that ignores the intangible qualities that the human beings who are our colleagues bring to their careers will never build a great workforce or a great organization.
— John C. Bogle, Enough
